I think it's cute that Kucinich is all angry and stuff now.

[ThorsteinVeblen]

It makes me want to pat his little head and give him a hug.

It's going to be okay Denny.

[a_random_joel]

1. Sorry

It made me all angry and stuff.

It's one thing to be angry at Bush, another to be calling out the other candidates by name. Way too early for that crap.

I don't like to knock other candidates, but Kucinich blew it for me last night.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

2. I thought he was "effiminate"?

You could post this on FreeRepublic.com and receive a host of supportive replies.

[Forkboy]

5. oh the irony

gee WCTV,you could say the same thing about your childish post.Ole Thorsten set a trap for you,methinks,and you fell right in.

Hypocracy...it's an ugly thing :eyes:

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

26. heh - let's see

A Dean supporter starts a negative, childish post attacking Kucinich, so I make a post that's pretty much a parody of that - but this guy is clever for repeating the same tripe about Kucinich that Dean supporters post all the time? Irony, sure :)

Actually, the irony is someone calling themselves Thorestein Veblen, and then supporting a candidate like Dean who may as well have stepped out of the pages of Theory of the Liesure Class - that's the irony folks.

[Forkboy]

32. There's a difference between "parody" and "rant"

you weren't trying to be clever,just ugly.

[ThorsteinVeblen]

47. No, I really think DK is kinda cute when he's angry.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

3. LOL! Too Funny.

I like DK on certain issues, but he has no shot, at either the Democratic primary or in the general election should the wildly improbable occur, and we nominate him.

DTH

[ThorsteinVeblen]

4. Wittle Dennis is in a bad mood.

Does wittle denny wenny want his bankee?

[OrdinaryTa]

8. Get New Writers

You really ought to experiment with a different style of humor. This one isn't working for you.

[Terwilliger]

7. are you fresh from the DraftGore campaign?

you people are always wanting to draft somebody...I guess the Dem candidacy season isn't going well, eh? Gore dropped out...Lieberman is a twit...Clark isn't running...

serious bummers, all!

[DoveTurnedHawk]

22. Huh?

Your post is confusing. Gore dropped out a long time ago. I took (and continue to take) him at his word.

I think Clark is better than anyone else we have to offer right now, and he has sent strong signals of his interest in running. I see nothing wrong in encouraging him to do so.

But if Clark doesn't run, I'll support whoever the Dem nominee is, with a primary preference for Kerry or Dean.

DTH

[Terwilliger]

6. Too bad Kerry is such a piss-poor candidate

maybe it's not too late to get more people in the race!

[ThorsteinVeblen]

10. Kerry is piss poor, Lieberman is psycho, Kucinich is wacko,

Gephardt is cowardly and Edwards, well, Edwards is just too damn young.

Looks like Howard Dean is the man.

[Terwilliger]

44. No, he's the worst offender of all

claims to be a liberal when any liberal who looks at him sees a snake in the grass

Frankly, we're looking at a GW Bush win in 04...as it stands now.

[WilliamPitt]

9. This thread sucks ass

What is wrong with you? I am not a Kucinich man by any means, but for the love of fucking God, aren't there enough fucking Republicans out there to say this derogatory shit about our candidates? What's wrong with you? Seriously?

Jesus. :eyes: :grr: :eyes:

[ThorsteinVeblen]

11. I think it's cute that Will Pitt is all angry and stuff now.

No.

[WilliamPitt]

20. Welcome to the land of the totally discredited n/t

[ThorsteinVeblen]

24. Cheers.

[Blue_Chill]

19. Will you are right but

you got to admit you set yourself up for that one.

[WilliamPitt]

23. Yeah

I guess I have to worry about DUers hamstringing fellow DUers along with Democratic candidates. I guess I have to watch my back, and so do you, and so do the candidates. I guess this is why we lose.

[ThorsteinVeblen]

30. No the reason why we lose

is the current Democratic Leadership who are spineless, weak, corrupt and cowardly.

The status quo has failed. Kerry, Lieberman, Gephardt, Edwards, McAuliffe, Schumer, Clinton, even those "liberal" candidates who are operating from the "old school" paradigm - all hold responsibility for the decimation wreaked upon the Democratic Party. The party has self-destructed and is in tatters.

What is most important is NOT winning in 2004. It is cleaning out the current leadership so that we may build a majority party in the comming decades.

A vote for John Kerry or any other current "leader" in the Democratic Party is a vote for corruption, weakness, laziness, fear and cowardice. Supporting a sure loser like Kerry in 2004 is to send a message to the leadership that you like the status quo - you like losing, you like weakness.

Only a clean sweep and an internal revolution within the party can save it.

We need to ask the question: What are our values? Why should we fight for them?

35. Way to rise above the immaturity

I would never vote for Dean ... never - esp. if you are the generic type of Deanie boy supporter! Tough cookies eh?

You're not going to take your ball home to are ya?

[WilliamPitt]

33. Courage of our convictions vs. the will to power

First of all, I apologize for my comments above. It's clear I walked into an argument halfway. I'm sorry.

Courage of our convictions vs. the will to power is the struggle we always have, and will always have. You are right in everything you say. But I wonder how much of a price we are willing to pay in answering that question.

[ThorsteinVeblen]

37. I am a political moderate and a pragmatic

I want a Democrat to get elected.

I just think the leaders in the Democratic Party have totally lost touch with any values they once may have based their politics on. The American public can smell it.

I think 2004 is going to be painful - like 2002 only worse. I don't think there is any way we can win. Our focus must be on re-evaluating the party and thinking long term. What do we want America to look like in 2030? How do we get there?

Kucinich may be right on the issues (maybe not), but to force those changes overnight is suicide. Plus, he is definately NOT the leader to do it.

Long-term planning, discipline and values-driven policies. The creation of think tanks, media. The Republicans have declared political war and we have been blindsided. Bantering about, buffeted by the prevailing short-term political winds is not way to lead - our leaders have forgotten this.

[Terwilliger]

45. Dammit, I know I've seen Name Removed a few times...

s/he MUST have more than 0 posts! ;-)

[Ripley]

12. Good Morning Will.

I guess you missed the "Dean is an arrogant Prick" threads this am.?

[WilliamPitt]

14. I did miss it

Thankfully. If it was anything like this, it was a waste of time and a trap that too many people fell into. We need this shit like we need a hole in the head.

[Jacobin]

15. guess you missed the hisory of this post.....

the partisans are coming unglued with odd, taunting thread titles and this was simply a "payback".

It should settle down after the primaries, i hope. :-)

[WilliamPitt]

17. I guess I did

I guess any random readers probably did, too.

[Forkboy]

21. Aww...he's just yanking a certain posters chain

[Blue_Chill]

13. LoL! That was mean but you get points for humor

:D

[ShaneGR]

25. QUICK, somebody throw a tennis ball

Should take DK a couple minutes to fetch it.

[realFedUp]

27. Cute? Puppies are cute...

I want a Candidate.

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

28. He needs to take off that damn halloween mask

He's making all the children cry.

[alfredo]

41. all he needs to do is start singing and

the kids will gather around. He has a very good singing voice. He puts asscleft to shame.

[ThorsteinVeblen]

46. Scary...

[ibegurpard]

29. Too bad posts like this

continue to feed a fire where none is warranted.

38. yeah my little7 yr old niece talks like this to my 5 yr old little nephew

just like the way this poster did this post
She says stuff to the boy to get him all riled up -
-is "wittle " so and so awe mad about his "wittle" candy?
And my nephew gets FURIOUS !!!
I just have to say the moderators should just AXE these threads right away before the get one reply

[ThorsteinVeblen]

39. Is that a reflection on the maturity of your niece

or your nephew who gets furious?

[jpgray]

40. This is tripe. If it's "satire", it's the worst I've seen. (nt)

[West Coast Democrat]

42. In my opinion, Kucinich has helped the WMD debate

People made fun of him for getting visibly angry and asking "Where are the WMDs?!!!!" But the next thing I knew, other candidates, and the media, began asking the same kind of questions.

[mmm]

43. From ugly minds...

Get therapy, and don't wait too long.

[Shanty Oilish]

48. Why condescend?

He's not my cup of tea, but how does your approach advance the discussion?

[ThorsteinVeblen]

49. The "Is Howard Dean an arrogant prick?" thread got my blood up.
